Anyone know anything about the picture of the kangaroo taken at Bulwell in the Nottingham Evening Post? Didn’t notice one when we were in Bulwell this afternoon but perhaps it doesn’t shop at Tesco.

Actually having a closer look at the picture it looks like 2 possible German Shepherds one standing and one sitting next to it. Sure I can see 2 heads, but then my eyes are as old as me surprisingly.

No kangaroos in Bulwell, but several 'dogs' in Wilkos this afternoon.

It’s possible for a kangaroo (wallaby) to be spotted around this area.  After all, we had one living in our garden in Hertfordshire and I have a photo to prove it.   There are packs of wallabies around the country apparently but more prevalent in the northern Home Counties.  Must admit when my husband told me he’d just seen a ‘kangaroo’ in our garden I thought he’d gone mad!

One weakness of anything set in Nottm. They can never find actors with a proper accent.

 

I mean.. have you heard Errol Flynn as Robin Hood?

Albert Finney was a brilliant actor, just unable to get rid of the Scouse gutterals. They might have been better with a young Alan Bates who, born in Allestree, was a bit closer to Nottingham. Told at RADA that unless he eradicated his Derbyshire accent he would never find work, he spent a good deal of his early career filming D H Lawrence!

Moved to Grindon Cresc in '73 . Apollo pub. Marshalls lorry yard. Adelphi cinema. Nice cars showroom. Dolly tub launderette. House of holland. Acropolis fish bar. Sun valley. Rediffusion. WHO remembers the sign FIREWORKS GALORE! Horse and jockey. Martins newsagents but i can't remember the cycle shop name near bus stops??

Left Grindon crescent in 1974, used to attend Alderman.w.derbyshire secondary school, drank in the horse and jockey had a scrap or two an all, worked in marshalls casemaking factory until one day a bully foreman told me to get cracking,  i just grabbed an handful of 6 inch nails threw em in the air and said make me ! Walked out the very same day !

Hopefully I have got this reply thing right!

I went to Mr Carberry the dentist from the first time he opened and was still returning as a new mum from West Yorkshire until the mid seventies .

He was lovely and good to hear his son is now in the profession.

Prior to him opening the shop it was a sweet shop and general store!

The practise mentioned on Piccadilly was barbarous,I remember coming back from there with my mum on the bus with quite a large blood stained cloth in her mouth after five extractions!

However still better than the school dentist at The Bogs ,I know where I would put his rubber bung now before he applied the gas to a terrified five year old ! !

Yeah went there once put the old gas mask on yer face and felt like i was curling up like a rubber ball and dreamt of soldiers with busbies on their heads stabbing my tongue with bayonets , then a woman with an high pitched voice , slapping my face and saying come on wake up !!
